The youth vote will once again be the margin of victory and Iām honored to be joining a team that understands that and is so committed to putting in the work to finish the job!
Today, we spoke to VA legislators & engaged in peaceful resistance as neo-naziās from around the country descended on Richmond
I was afraid to wear my kippah, jewish star necklace, & chai necklace, but I did because I am proud of my Judaism and it is the reason I am an organizer

My first semester at GW, I had the privilege of interning for Sen. Feinstein.

As a Jew, this sort of rhetoric/messaging is terrifying.
Whenever a marginalized group is being targeted the NRA + right wing media use it as an opportunity to ā¬ļøsales by stoking fear.
The truth is that the presence of a gun makes you less safe!
While the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a whole is complicated, many things that are simple: murder, violence, fear & kidnapping are bad; targeting civilians is bad + celebrating any of that is bad. Celebrating acts that will wipe out entire populations is bad. Period. 1/
